HEART, MIGHT, MIND AND STREGTH

This week, though a tough week, was also a great week.And one of my favorite moments came on Wednesday night as my roommate and I rode the train home after a planning meeting for our forthcoming cabaret.We were riding a rather bouncy 1 train home, and Jen wasn't holding on to a bar.She wobbled a bit, and after a really big bump, an elder black man reached his arm out to steady her.He kept her from taking a tumble and remained posed and ready to catch her again for the rest of the ride home.

In a city like New York, where men on trains are so often sleezy in taking advantage of the crowded subway conditions, it is such a welcome surprise to find someone who automatically reaches out to help without making us feel threatened.It's the little moments like these that restore my belief in the chivalry and the existence of true gentlemen.

Who'da Who?

A study in contrasts. . . Red hair, often wearing my favorite color orange, and bright pink lips; my personality is the same way. I'm just a simple Mormon girl from the OC, who happens to have an amazing career that has let me travel to 47 countries. I'm half performer, half photographer.
I love my family, who mostly now reside in the Tacoma, Washington area, and I have the most incredible friends. Obsessions: photography, reading, music, the internet (I don't think I could live without an internet connnection for more than a day!) and really anything artistic. I am blessed to have a testimony of my Savior and to be able to live a life with so much adventure! As a performer, I'm best known as Elphaba in the musical WICKED at Univeral Japan. Most recent work was on a new Broadway show with Cirque du Soleil, called BANANA SHPEEL.
This blog is meant to capture the moments of my life that are so beautiful, they couldn't possibly be meant just for me!
